Hood Pins?

I've noticed at high speeds, the hood of the protege seems to wobble

. Is this normal, or should we put hood pins on to keep it steady? Thanks guys.

Glad I'm not the only one with that problem. My hood wobbles when I push or pull on it. I think hood pins would help, but I dont want to put them on my pro. Hood pins will give a protege the name Ricepro.

and thats all I have to say on that

if your hood is that bad. try adjusting the latch or the stops on the sides. hood pins would not look good IMO.

it's easy to find someone that will custom make a carbon-fiber hood for the 1st gen, but the $$$ is the problem, because it will not be cheap at all...........that's for sure
